I love so many of the old roses, which to me look and smell the way roses are supposed to…which doubtless says something about me. <br /><br />I'm still working on the wall, as well as the large planter bed I hope to get going within the next week. I'm looking forward to those photos.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-61211632306583459372012-04-05T22:46:02.696-04:002012-04-05T22:46:02.696-04:00To spend time watching a heron in front of your ho...To spend time watching a heron in front of your house… what a great activity! We have so many trees and so little sun that we only have flowers in pots. Yesterday though it was beautiful here – in the mid 80s and no humidity so we went back to the Smith-Gardens, which are a couple of miles away and looked at all the great spring blooms. I took many pictures and will have them in a future post. The rose bushes will have many blooms soon, so I’ll go back at the end of the month to take even more pictures. Some of the old roses were blooming already, and they have such a sweet fragrance. I have one in the shade in my yard which usually gives me a couple of roses – one came out today – a white rose named Blanc Double de Coubert - it’s a rosa rugosa from 1892.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-37559883062052341652012-04-05T10:16:23.877-04:002012-04-05T10:16:23.877-04:00Solitary…

If it makes you feel any better—truth setting you free and all that—please know that for all my little projects, plantings, and Herculean efforts, my yard and gardens (the latter being used with much tongue-in-cheek) remain steadfastly more tangled wilderness than landscaped paradise.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-4268236380051204832012-04-05T06:30:33.839-04:002012-04-05T06:30:33.839-04:00If I had even half as much energy and willpower as...If I had even half as much energy and willpower as you, Grizz, my back garden would now be a landscaped paradise rather than the tangled wilderness it has become over the years!The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-89682864778786795882012-04-01T16:37:33.242-04:002012-04-01T16:37:33.242-04:00Weaver…

Quite frankly, I couldn't have found better ones—next door, across the street, up the road—if I'd have searched for years. I have wonderful neighbors and I appreciate them more than I can say.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-84729553814642727702012-04-01T16:34:29.134-04:002012-04-01T16:34:29.134-04:00Gail…

We've been at it since late morning—just now breaking for lunch, though I think I'm done for the day—and only managed to get one more tie installed, though that involved a lot of moving and shifting and leveling, etc. It's turned out to be a lovely day, however—sunny and warm. A perfect April afternoon. <br /><br />I say the weather is never too rainy/cold/sleety/snowy or whatever for grilling, and if Skipp wants to have at it, let him assemble your new grill and slap a hunk of meat over the flames. <br /><br />Take care.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-70060288332506893382012-04-01T11:17:44.291-04:002012-04-01T11:17:44.291-04:00I loved this post Grizz - love the relationship yo...I loved this post Grizz - love the relationship you have with your neighbour - perfect example of Robert Frost's 'good fences make good neighbours@ I think.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-35331620582879848032012-04-01T11:12:12.555-04:002012-04-01T11:12:12.555-04:00HI GRIZZ - sounds like back breaking work - I pre...HI GRIZZ - sounds like back breaking work - I prefer the indoor jobs with the hearth fire aglow! :-) Also, the fickle weather of March and early April leaves much to chance. Skipp wants to put our new charcoal grill together but the weather is saying otherwise. We too had a nice fire last night to take the dampness out of the house and ad that comforting warmth to our older rickety bones. <br />Love to you and yours<br />Gail<br />peace.....Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.com
